The prosecutor’s office presented a quote of $16,952 for a Lanier MPC 8002 from Advanced Imaging Solutions.

Holmes said he was reluctant to allow the Canon copier to be returned until the full payment was received, but did allow them to come pick it up with a surety that the full cost would be reimbursed back to the county within a week.
